Sample output — your files never leave your device.
Drop the image in — OCR runs on your device and outputs the recognized text, ready to copy or download as a .txt file.
Thirteen: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean and Russian. Pick the language your document is written in for best accuracy.
Yes — a scanned PDF is just pages of images, and the extractor runs OCR on them. For born-digital PDFs that already contain text, the PDF to Word converter is the faster route.
The OCR engine and your chosen language pack download once, then cache in your browser — later extractions skip that step and start faster.
Very good on clean, well-lit, straight-on images of printed text. Blurry photos, handwriting, and heavy stylization reduce accuracy — a sharper source gives a sharper result.
No. Recognition runs entirely on your device — the image or PDF is never sent to a server, which is the whole point for sensitive documents.
Yes. OCR Text Extractor is completely free on GenRise, with no limits, watermarks, or hidden paywalls.
No. Every GenRise tool works instantly in your browser — no account, email, or sign-up required.

GenRise OCR Text Extractor pulls editable text out of images and scanned PDFs using optical character recognition that runs on your device — not on a server that sees your documents. Pick from 13 languages including English, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Russian and major European languages; the language pack downloads once and stays cached. Copy the extracted text or download it as a .txt file — ideal for digitizing scans, grabbing text from screenshots, and making image-only PDFs searchable.
